Hi,
I want to implementing cache sync functionality for a block device. I referred to CTL code, below link says
http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/CAM-Target-Layer-and-dev-isp-td5727548.html
" If you use a block device (like a zvol) as the backing store, you'll want
to disable sending cache syncs to the disk, since that will trigger a GEOM
assertion.
ctladm realsync off"
How is cache sync (flush) implemented for a block device ? bio_cmd=BIO_FLUSH results in ASSERT.
Thanks
Sreenivas
